The Rachel Zoe Project

With the roll out of the new site, gearing up for all of the fabulous events this fall and the search for a new assistant life has been a little out of sorts.  Last night I FINALLY tuned in to Bravo's Rachel Zoe Project, what a hot mess!  I can see why the haters love to hate but I have to say she is all I want to be when I grow up.  Studio flooding, missing garments, challenged assistants and good old fashioned drama... I loved every minute of it!!

Dueling Days - Fashion Week Fiasco

Hard to believe that Phoenix Fashion Week is here again.  The question is will they be able to bring in a crowd in light of Phoenix Runway showing on the same days?  I just got done reading the Arizona Republic's take on Arizona hosting not one, not two but three Fashion Weeks this year (it's a good read)!  I am interested to learn your thoughts - email me at claire@hauteaz.com.

Hugs and Happy Shopping!!
